Interesting fact
The coin features an image of Frederick Günther, the ruling prince of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the principality on the other. The coat of arms includes a shield with a diagonal split between the colors red and black, which represents the division between the two branches of the Schwarzburg family that ruled the principality.
